Village of Peoria Heights Mayor Mark Allen has started his own blog, The Peoria Heights Response. It’s appears to be primarily a campaign website, as he is running for reelection this year. But he’s also sharing other interesting information about the Heights.

One issue that may be of interest to Peoria residents is the recycling program the Heights has recently implemented. Peoria’s current garbage disposal contract with Waste Management expires this year. This is the time to negotiate a new contract, possibly with a different company, that will make recycling as easy here as it is in the Heights.
